Java help please

[gmattson]

I've been trying to set up a java applet on the home page with some success. It's a text scrolling program, which would allow me to quickly put up important messages without taking up a lot a of space.

It is working OK, but wondering how to get the text to repeat itself. Any suggestions?

George,

Most scrolling java applets do repeat. In this case see if the parameters have a repeat option. Also, you may want to slow it down a bit. There should also be a speed parameter.

If not, there are a ton of java applets out there that will do what you want it to and they are free.

Check out this site... http://freewarejava.com/ and go to Java applets. From there, scroll down and on the left side you will see Scrollers and ticker tapes.

BTW: That "project" I am working on is almost done. I should have it up very shortly.

Nice, only it scolls to fast for reading comfort.

Guess not everyone 'speedreads'!

I'll try playing around with it.

Thanks,

George, take this one off my website. It works fine; just sub in what you want. I nested it inside a table so I suspect you can pop the whole thing in pretty simply.

Thanks Al. I've been looking at some of the freebees that Scott had a link to. . . I like one them that may work out best for the home page.
